Thank you, that is what I have. the line where the thigh meets the hip pretty much.

I'm barely 5 foot and at 100-105 looked semi-anorexic to those around me (mind you I could eat a full pizza myself at that time), what kind of calorie intake do you do?? Having a "starting weight" of 98 seems borderline eating disorder or similar issues and should be a red flag. Just a concerned user checking on something…

5' 3/4" (always weight from 98 to 105 until I hit 28 - 30 and yes I was healthy) I weigh 130 right now. My doctor would like to see 115-120, I would like to see 108. Ideally I'd be happy with 110-115 but with NSV in mind here is my list: I want to look down and not see a "belly" that hangeth over even a little. Wear my…

I basically replaced all white carbs (potatoes, pasta, rice and bread) with whole grain, whole wheat etc. Cut out fat, fried, greasy foods. added more nuts, fruit and veggies. I try never to do LOW FAT because your body needs the good fats in come things like milk and cheese etc, I haven't been feeling well the past few…

I get a hip type pain anytime I pull my foot up (ie: putting a sock or shoe on) or when I sit on our brick porch for extended periods of time. My BF makes fun and says it's called getting old, but my neighbor said I should possibly get it checked out or even have my hips realigned by a chiropractor (I am so scared of…

I refused to eat brussles for years!! BUT my "red neck" boyfriend said "you love cabbage right?, they are essentially like a baby cabbage" I made them and I love them...I have 4 different recipes I variate between and have yet to find one I don't love...they are SO good for you. I won't eat Lamb or Veal for ethical…

2 immediate first thoughts... make your own heavy bag and redrum, just saying ha ha ha ha

I bought a gold's gym elliptical from Walmart, I was skeptical at first so read tons of reviews all over on the equipment etc. It is a nice piece of equipment for paying around $250. So sometimes they do have a pretty good quality. I love it and have had no issues. I also own a few smaller things like hand weights and…

Last weeks NSV was -2.5 combined inches!! Love when that happens. Definitely helps to see progress. I also didn't go over my calories despite all the goodies available to me on Mother's Day!!

this week's goal: to burn more calories!! so adding more exercise. NSV from last week, I lost 2.5 combined inches in my waist, bust and thighs :) I added back my morning protein shake (got a fancy one serving cup blender for Mother's Day, making it MUCH easier to do so). Good luck everyone!!

I sometimes throw in 3 mins at no resistance on the elliptical and then 1 minute as high as you can handle repeat repeat repeat. 25 mins. I also hit our local track and do 1 minute walking, 30 seconds sprinting for about 3 to 6 miles depending on how tired you are. anything that gets your heart rate really elevated and…

[/quote] I feel like- Why work out if I could do the same thing without working out". Hope this helps! [/quote] what?!?! and average size woman (ie: healthy weight and active) needs approx. 1200 to survive. SURVIVE. if you work out...it needs to be more. I like 1200, that's my magic number, that being said. If you weren't…

What gets me is he point blank says he won't HIRE anyone overweight or not-attractive. He wouldn't even be able to work there. their sizes run 2 sizes smaller than they actually are and are DEF geared towards 13 to 18 year old twigs....let them have at it...such a waste of money. I'm just glad the parent company who owns…

me too please!!

GENIUS!!!!!

I get told all the time " you can't tell you almost weight 130" I'm only 5 foot. I bet you look amazing and just need to tone. at 5'5" 115 is a really good low target weight anything below unless you are built like a ballerina (I am, tiny framed) lower than that may be too much... you should be proud of that weight right…

Height 5' 2 Sons age 12 and 4 Age 36 (in Aug) HW- 128 CW- 124 GW -105 (not necessarily exact)

Do you have a wagon?? Pulling one of those babys makes the work out even better. I have my moments when I want to take the dogs alone, or just go by myself but when it's not an option, it's just now. you know. any parks near by? let the kids run around like mad, chase them etc. I watch our DVR shows while on the elliptical…

I WAS (key term was) getting up 20 mins to an hour earlier 3 times a week. But now that my hours are extended I am having trouble even getting up on time at all. Schedule it in, On the calendar, make them aware of it. everything else that goes on is written on ours and it gets done, so I started scheduling ME in. a 15 min…

soda is the absolute worst thing you can put in your body, I used to drink it every day, haven't had it in years and do not miss it at all. It makes you crave junk food AND packs on the pounds. Find healthy foods high in calories such as nuts, peanut butter etc, use olive oil to cook. I would lay odds on if you cut out…

what she said^ sometimes to keep my body guessing I will mix up my calories for a few days without/before hitting a plateau, which helps.

I love Jillian, and I know her stuff works and incredibly fast. what an amazing transformation!!

Holy Crap Girl!! Congratulations!!! what a wonderful transformation.

You look beautiful despite the weight honey.

AWESOME job!!!! what a transformation. Thank you for sharing!

EVERY JOURNEY STARTS WITH A STEP. One pound is a step. Ideally the measuring helps at all times but yes being that heavy it is about the number on the scale for a while, but when you get there, closer to the end of the journey near you "goal weight" that's when the scale matters less and the inches matter more. You can do…

I am one of those people that gets hung up on numbers, but now my numbers are in inches not lbs, yes I wanna drop approx. ten to fifteen lbs, but if I drop 9 instead and fit in my clothes that are 2 sizes too small then I still did it. I used to weigh myself every 3 to 4 days, all that does is discourage and set you up for…

Then your goal is to lose weight not build muscle, there is a very fine line in working out between the two things. more cardio, less weights and try cutting 100 calories out a day, see where that gets you and I can not stress enough WATER.

How rude is that?!?! yuck. we all know women take longer and have a harder time than men losing weight. what a jerk!
